Free Music Review: listen to it every day and sometimes every night
Hit: 5 Stars
This album has made me happy. I've thought about humans when listening to it. I've considered my place in a crowd, in the universe, in a graveyard. I've lain on the floor, closed my eyes, controlled my breathing and fainted accidentally. I've jumped up into the air, kicked my legs out, landed, danced in place, trying to do it faster than the songs. I've wished for a family. I've dreamed of being the performer and the person in the audience and that for a moment our heads become siamese.
This album is so good that I've given up writing reviews. I've given up reading reviews. I've sold my belongings, wrapped up provisions for a week in a bandana, placed it on the end of a stick and am now wandering around the railroad tracks listening to my ipod.
It's not like their other albums. There's more danger in it. And more blessing force, happily or impossibly.
Love Is Simple (with Bonus DVD) Poster
"For those of you who have seen my simpering, slavishly devotional Akron/Family blurbs and press releases in the past, wherein I make ridiculous claims about them (which I happen to believe!), it should come as no surprise when I reiterate they are one of the best bands on the planet. I don't recall seeing such fantastic live shows ever, except maybe Pere Ubu at the Whiskey in LA circa 1978 or Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd circa 1968/9. Take those unrelated reference points and mix in The Beatles, Chicago Art Ensemble, CCR, The Grateful Dead, The Hollies, The Butthole Surfers, Led Zeppelin, and you might get a notion--probably not. Anyway, this record comes the closest to bridging the gap between the chaos, rock action, tribal bongo-banging and sentimental sing-alongs of their live shows and the necessarily more cerebral, or at least worked-over and layered process of recording in the studio. So, there are beautiful songs and harmonies on this album, and also wild and weird jams, all in the service of their chosen Deity, or Nothingness, or LOVE, or whatever it is they're on about." --Michael Gira/Young God RecordsAlternative Rock Music CDs
